There are a lot of preset schemes you can
choose from thanks to the Dual Strike software installing them, and you
can also easily edit them or write your own. Most of the information about
the Dual Strike is available by double clicking on the Sidewinder Game
Controller Software icon, from here you load up SideWinder Central (Below)

From here you can read up on the Dual
Strike, check out the compatibility information, which is needed if you
have a device such as one that uses the older Gaming Device software. You
can also jump to the Control Panel option called Game Controllers.
